Effects of Social Inequities
“When the symbols, rituals, rites of one’s culture lose their legitimacy and power to compel thought and
action, then disruption occurs within cultural orientation and reflects itself as pathology in the psychology of the people belonging to that culture.” (Nobles, et al., 1987)
![Page 28: Public Health 101 Module IV: Social & Health Equity Developed by: Alameda County Public Health Department - Community Assessment Planning & Education Unit](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102818/56649d035503460f949d6d79/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Not Quite Home: The Psychological Effects of Oppression Ken Hardy’s article “Home isn’t just a place to sleep and
hang your clothes; it is also a state of being, a sense of intrinsically fitting in to the community around you and being welcomed, invited, accepted and free to be complete…Home is the spirit we hope to find in others; an end to being pushed out in the cold because of some difference that is deemed unacceptable.”
